What is Gentle, Steady, or Focused pace?
Short answer
Your pace sets how many times a day your apps lock until you read and pray, from once on Gentle to three times on Focused
What does each pace do?
- Gentle: "Your apps lock once a day until you read and pray"
- Steady: "Your apps lock twice a day until you read and pray"
- Focused: "Your apps lock three times a day until you read and pray"
You pick one when you set up the app. Steady is picked for you unless you choose another.
When do my apps lock?
Your day runs from 6:00 AM to 11:59 PM. Your pace splits it evenly:
- Gentle: Morning, 6:00 AM to 11:59 PM
- Steady: Morning, 6:00 AM to 2:59 PM, and Evening, 3:00 PM to 11:59 PM
- Focused: Morning, 6:00 AM to 11:59 AM, Midday, 12:00 PM to 5:59 PM, and Evening, 6:00 PM to 11:59 PM
Does my pace change XP or rank?
More locks a day means more times to read and pray, so you can earn more XP each day.
Your rank moves at the same speed on every pace. Four full days at your pace moves you up one step.
Can I change my pace?
Yes, as often as you want.
- On Today, tap the gear to open Settings
- Tap "Daily plan"
- Tap "Your pace" and pick one
- Tap "Save plan", then tap "Save"
You can also find "Daily plan" on the Protect tab.
When does a new pace start?
The app tells you before you save. More locks can start today. Fewer locks start tomorrow.
Switching is safe. The app says: "Nothing you already finished today is undone, and your streak stays safe".
Which pace should I pick?
Not sure? Start with Steady. You can change it any time.
